Please Critique My Pictures!

I also have a journal, but I think I want to keep that for work out entries etc.

I posted up alot of pictures lately of my Progress.

The two pictures of me with the long hair is when I was 18 and 19.

The other 3 are of me now, I will be turning 21 November 2.

Positive or Negative I want some critiquing, because I can't get it from friends and family.

I was going for the whole swimmer beach boy look, because I have never been big all my life, and thats what girls my age like. Kind of the tan, shaggy hair guys, with swimmers builds.
Instead all of a sudden I grew massive amounts of muscle all over, and thickened up like crazy. Another thing is that I grew a ton of body and facial hair that I never had to deal with. This was really unexpected and totally out of character with how my body was all through my teens. Girls always refered to me as a "cutie" or a "pretty boy" but the other day I had the wrestling coach come up to me and ask me If I wrestled the 190, or 200 pound wrestling class in high school. When I never wrestled all my life. I was in Choir etc!!!!!!!!! So what do you think of this drastic change in my body? Its hard to get used to. Should I try to go for the swimmer build I originally wanted, or listen to my Body's screaming to become a beast? Help me out guys!

It's your life, choose your goals...

No one can really tell you what to do with your training, that's the whole point of it being an individual sport for many people. Obviously you look a lot better and have gained a lot of muscle, which is something to be proud of. Why fight your body's natural tendency? I just took my strength (which happens to be strength) and worked on that. I wasn't about to start training to get faster at a BW of 230. However, just do whatever it is you want to do the most.

hmmmm you look happier with hair and a Tie........is that what you were looking for???? So I would recoment hair and a red ties incoporated into work out programs girls hate the phsycho postal workers for the most part.


On the real though you don't need to lift for ladies all kinds of girls like all kinds of guys so just progess in your own fashion and do what you like.

I train for strength durring my race season and size in the off season. Do you wanna be a swimmer.....on the low though girls like gleuts



Today I was inline at the grocery store and saw a magzine that said it had 44 shortcuts for getting big!!!! Holey moly my life has changed no more hardwork and dedication for me ther are shortcuts!!!!!!!

Well, its not necasarilly that I want to be a swimmer, it just seemed like the natural thing due to the way I previously looked, and girls to tend to like those guys, and I think I am quiet a bit beefier now than a swimmer, hairier too.

Thanks for replying, just any kind of feedback is awesome

In that case, the progress you've made is amazing. I'm sure some of it has been just naturally growing, but surely you worked hard to achieve what you have now. To hell with what girls like... be what you want to be, and don't let anyone else sway you from that personal ideal.

I dunno if it was I was happier, just maybe more used to my body. To be honest I am not sure I could ever turn back anyway, because I think the changes are permanent. I may just be destined to be a really massive hairy bulky man. Instead of the beach boy look.
Any more replies?

Also, what should I do about how hairy I am becoming? Am I already at the point of being too hairy?

Use Nair, Neet or any debilatory cream...you could also get a wax. It'll make the hair come back less and less each time

Dude, lots of women like guys with hairy chests. But more important is what YOU like - don't shave (or grow) hair for anyone else but yourself. If you like the hairier look, then keep it. If you don't, then shave it. Simple as that.
